What Is This?

RunAPI MCP Server connects MCP-compatible coding tools to RunAPI. It lets an assistant browse the RunAPI catalog, inspect model inputs, check current runtime pricing, create media tasks, poll task status, and check account balance.

The discovery tools work without an API key because they use the embedded build-time catalog. Authenticated operations use the login tool, runapi login, RUNAPI_API_KEY, or shared RunAPI config.

This package is a pure client. It does not run a local generation backend and only needs RunAPI sign-in for authenticated tools.


Hosted MCP

Remote MCP clients can connect directly to:

https://mcp.runapi.ai/mcp

No Node.js installation is required. Use OAuth when the client supports remote MCP authorization, or configure a RunAPI API key as the bearer credential. See the Hosted MCP setup page for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Windsurf configurations.

Hosted MCP exposes the eight Business Tools documented below. Local Login remains available only in the Local MCP package.
